HOL-ID
From HOL Wiki
HOL-ID, Student-ID and Professor-ID are the same thing: the unique ID number for given to each HOL member. If a student is promoted to staff, their student identity will be locked and a new HOL-ID (Professor-ID) will be generated for their staff identity. In all other cases, the unique HOL-ID assigned to every new HOL member will never change.

Getting your HOL-ID
During HOL Registration---after you have been successfully sorted into one of the four houses---your HOL-ID and student file are automatically generated and your name is then added to the New Students List.
Your HOL-ID is important. You will need it to access HOL Office, for class sign-up and other important uses. Because HOL has many members with similar names, your HOL-ID makes you identifiable---please sign all class and contest-related emails to HOL professors and prefects with your HOL-ID. This helps everyone avoid mistakes and find the correct student within the huge database of thousands of members.
HOL-ID Syntax
Student-IDs
Student-IDs have a strict syntax: the first two letters of your HOL First Name are followed by a 3-digit number (ab000). The number indicates when you joined HOL.
- 000 - 199: Summer 2001
- 200 - 299: Mid-Term 2001/02
- 300 - 349: Summer 2002
- 350 - 399: Mid-Term 2002/03
- 400 - 449: Summer 2003
- 480 - 499: Mid-Term 2003/04
- 500 - 549: Summer 2004
- 550 - 599: Mid-Term 2004/05
- 600 - 649: Summer 2005
- 650 - 699: Mid-Term 2005/06
- 700 - 799: Summer 2006
- 750 - 749: Mid-Term 2006/07
- 800 - 899: Summer 2007
There are a few exceptions from this rule, as certain letter combinations (as ma for example) are very popular.
Professor-IDs
HOL-IDs for Professors do not contain any numbers. They begin with pr_ followed by three letters (pr_abc). For example: the HOL-ID for Headmaster Prof. Emerald Dybendahl is pr_dyb.
Other IDs
There are a few special IDs for certain positions in HOL. Those IDs are assigned by the Head Office, for members who neither qualify as a student nor a professor (Caretaker, Groundskeeper, Librarian, Publisher, Admin). Common prefixes used are st_ for staff and li_ for library.
